I don’t think those would do the OP any good since the bike was in a storage locker and not on her property or probably not within a meaningful distance where she could have done something. Also, AirTags are for finding your lost keys, wallet, backpack, etc, not for real time GPS tracking. They have other limitations as well, such as needing other Apple devices like iPhones, iPads and/or Macs within a hundred feet since AirTags use Bluetooth, not GPS satellites.

In addition, if the thief had an iPhone, the built-in anti-stalking feature would alert him that an unknown AirTag is traveling with him.

They'll read anywhere anytime with the Find My app well outside the bluetooth range

Please clarify what you mean by " you have my permission to take the appropriate action if you know what I mean".

I'm no brain surgeon, but I think she wants you to help them swallow their teeth.

I'd never rent a storage locker from anyplace that doesn't have video surveillance.

Was the bike insured?
